Welcome to The Crown & Sceptre, or as we like to call it, The Hat & Stick. (It's worth noting at this point, that no one at the Crown has EVER called it the Hat and Stick. This is quite an old part of the website that we haven't yet had the heart to change)
We're Fitzrovia's best kept secret, a gorgeous gem of a pub with one of Central London's sunniest outdoor seating areas, and the friendliest staff for miles around.
With our lovely jubbly selection of exciting draught lagers and speciality beers, spanking traditional real ales and a wine list to die for, you really should come and say hello. We also have a stunning new summer menu and you are politely encouraged to press the little 'Food and Drink' button up there ^^^^ and have a little shufty for yourself.
If you need to contact us, you can call us on 0207 307 9971
PLEASE NOTE: To RESERVE AN AREA or TABLE for any given date, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND you CALL US ON THE NUMBER BELOW, RATHER THAN USING THE EMAIL FACILITY due to the relatively slow turnaround on email requests...
Make sure you join us on our Facebook page for all the latest happenings at the pub, or at very least to find out what we think about whatever was funny this week.
(And always remember... The cake is a lie.)
COME CHEER US AND YOURSELVES UP!
Here at the Crown we're not afraid to admit that we're a bit down in the dumps. Post World Cup blues, Post Festival blues, you name it. Summer Solstice has been and gone and the suspicion is that summer is all down hill from here. BUT... LEST WE FORGET, We've got you, and you've got us. Though you may wish to give Will (Tweedle-Dee) and Kyle (Tweedle-Dum) a miss...
So in the words of Mr Bob Marley, Let's Come Together and Feel Alright...
NO LONGER NEW BUT STILL RELEVANT 'BREAKING NEWS':
Because we love you, we have managed to procure what Lyndon would boldly claim as THE BEST BEER EVER. Just for you, Blue Moon is on Draught at The Crown and Sceptre. This North American craft beer is brewed with a hint of orange to make it truly unique. There's nothing else out there quite like it, and it's truly beautiful. Carlsberg my a**e.
OLD BUT STILL EXCITING NEWS:
We've launched NOT ONLY our lovely yummy new summer food menu, but also a brand spanking new Wine list. Frankly the list is far too fabulous to even begin to describe here so come on down and try them for yourselves. Remember you can cheat and try them at special trial prices EVERY WEDNESDAY from 5pm. See below for details!
- Open at midday everyday, until 11pm Monday – Saturday, 10.30pm Sunday
- Food served from midday everyday, until 10pm Monday – Saturday, 9pm Sunday
- Full Disabled access
- We rock.. Fact.
Well hello, this section is all about us... We're all pretty ace really...
Lyndon - Sure he looks like a tramp, but he's dead nice. Has however, picked up the somewhat unkind monicker of 'Pavement Nazi' as he spends most of his time herding lovely outside customers into the areas where they're actually allowed to be. Sticks and stone, sticks and stones.. (sob....sobb....sniff...)
Kyle - Captain Yellow Trousers is at your service, his favourite teenage mutant ninja turtle is Michaelangelo, and he will be glad to talk to you in great detail as to why this is...greeeat! This is all provided he turns up on time...
Will - He showed up, and his range of lovely T-shirts sold us on him. "When can you start?" asked Lyndon. "Tomorrow!" said Will. The rest is old news. He's a Gooner though. Meh, no-one's perfect.
Bog - Our very own Bogatron, perhaps the best thing to hit a dance floor since John Travolta. We think he might have helped choreograph the video for "Blame it on the Boogie" by Jackson 5.
Rachel - Australian. Travelling. Can't afford to live in Shoreditch. Any donations gratefully received...
Victoria - Serendipitously employed during some drunkard yet perfect pouring of bottled Duvel into a glass, which frankly required commenting on. "You want a job?!" we asked humourously. "Actually, Yes." Came the reply. A delightful accident, though I'm not sure the HR people would approve.
Consuela - This rare Italian breed can ocassionally be found on the bar but tends to stick to her natural habitat of 'Pretty Much Anywhere Else'. On the upside she can carry WAY more plates than Kyle. (She also looks markedly less homeless.)
John - We'd be lying if we didn't admit we're still waiting for John to do or say something noteworthily stupid before we have anything interesting to say about him. Either he's an excellent member of staff (yeah, right...) or we haven't gotten him drunk yet.
Nick - Our fearless leader. We say 'fearless' I suspect his only fears are early mornings and drink stocks...
Take your pick and say hello, since we'd all much rather talk to you lot than clean the evil Cupboard of Doom(TM).
If you are interested in career opportunities with us, please send us an email.
